You are so weird.

You’re right. I’m coming up there in a few weeks. Will have lots of beer.

No. Botox is only covered for migraines, and body tucking is never covered. But you can get a penile implant or Viagra if deemed medically necessary. Of course.

Yes. Long story, but I once got dents in the hood of my car because of a goat. They are terrible adult animals.

Damn it, you have found my weakness.

I don’t disagree. But PONIES AND BUNNIES.

But the “long term plan to lower the price” doesn’t help when all the people who have lived with this disease for years and years and years immediately got the treatment at the highest price point. Despite the Pam Anderson thing, Hep C disproportionately affects low-income people. And even Medicaid is paying for this…

For insurers who contract with Medicare or Medicaid, they had to renegotiate capitation rates because of this, which comes from taxpayer dollars. For private insurances, they had to raise rates for everyone. Treatment…

Stop being all science-y.

You’re in the Dominican alone? Or you’re at the bar alone? Because if it’s the first, I just fell in love with you all over again.

Motherhood takes lots of things.

Is anyone interested in knowing the price of the treatment that gave her a cure? About $85,000 for a 12 week treatment, even more if it had to go on for 20 weeks, which a certain percentage has to do. I’m not hating, I think it’s great. I think everyone who needs this treatment should get it, actually. But wow, the…

Where are you traveling to, GELLA, my dear?
